The aroma is a blend of fresh grassy and floral hop and a subtly soft, caramel-tinged maltiness. The palate is a balance of gentle grainy maltiness and sprightly floral, citrusy fresh hop fruitiness. The finish is bittersweet with hints of citrus fruit weaving in and out.

500ml bottle: BBD 26th Sep 18. Drank at home on mid Nov 17. Poured into an Abbot Ale pint glass tankard, it looked good, clear and clean body of golden sunlight, on top a full and deep white blanket of foam. The aroma was a mixture of light maltiness and mild orange citrus esters. The taste followed along the same lines. Easy drinking beer with just about enough flavour to keep you interested until the last drop, nicely balanced, simple beer.

Bottle from Crocombe's, Lynmouth. Golden with a thin head. Has a distinctively British hoppiness, reminding me of several Shepherd Neame type brews. It's a decent enough golden ale.

I used to seek this out in my younger days, but now I question why! It poured nicely and looked good in the tankard. The flavour was some bitter hops and lots of wheat. Overall I didn't enjoy it, but perhaps I should have chilled it to within an inch of its life.

Cask at The Crown Rivers, Heathrow
Golden color, clean, with thin persistent head. The aroma is too light, but the flavor has more malt than the average Golden Ale, robust mouthfeel, and balanced bitterness.
Very pleasant.
